Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat
Chapter 405 New York Manor
You must know that the General Electric Company of the United States will become a super giant in the future. It has developed very successfully in everything from aircraft engines, power generation equipment to financial services, from medical imaging, television programs to plastics, etc.<
/p>
The company's business includes three major business sectors: aviation, medical care and energy, which are all gold industries in the future.
Although General Electric had not yet reached the heights it would later achieve at this time, Fang Lang's request clearly exceeded Mr. Morgan's expectations.
This requirement does not require Morgan to report to the patriarch of the Morgan family. He knows that this is unlikely. After all, he is very clear about the family's future plans for General Electric.
Therefore, after hearing Fang Lang's loud request, he jumped up from the table.
Fang Lang had already expected this, and he had never thought that just one word of his own or to compensate Fang Lang for his losses in the grain trade could make the Morgan family give up one of their most important assets.
to exchange benefits.
Compared with Morgan's angry look, Fang Lang looked much calmer, looking at the other person with a dull expression and continued speaking
"If you can give me enough General Electric shares, I can give up the Turkish market and choose the Greek market according to the plan you negotiated.
Of course, we must say our ugly words first, just this time, and we won’t do it next time.”
Morgan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The hair all over his body stood up. He stared at Fang Lang fiercely and continued to shout loudly
"It's impossible, don't even think about it!"
Looking at Morgan's expression, Fang Lang remained calm and comforted Morgan
"Mr. Morgan, nothing is impossible, just like your Morgan family treats the agreement between us.
I have always believed in the credibility of the Morgan family, but in reality?
With enough benefits, you all chose to lose the credibility of a businessman."
These words made Mr. Morgan's face turn livid, but for a moment he could not refute it. After all, this matter was indeed a problem of the Morgan family from beginning to end.
It was my own request to invite the other party over, and even to ask the other party to propose their own compensation plan, it was my own initiative.
Now the request made by the other party exceeds my expectations and exceeds my authority. It is indeed below my standards to act so excited.
Thinking of this, Morgan had to forcefully control his emotions. After thinking about it in his mind, he picked up the teacup in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and then slowly spoke
"You are right. Since it is compensation, there is nothing wrong with you making your own demands.
Although I think this request is a bit excessive, I will still fully reflect your thoughts and see how Mr. Patriarch and the others decide."
When Fang Lang heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
This request came to him suddenly and suddenly. After all, there was nothing he could like in Turkey and Greece. At best, they could only be regarded as a consumer market.
And since it is the Morgan consortium that has come forward to compensate itself, it is only natural that it should offer GE stock compensation.
Even if Morgan directly refuses now, Fang Lang will not give up easily. You must know that General Electric has grown rapidly through this European aid plan with the support of the Morgan consortium.
If you exchange yourself for shares of General Electric, you will be able to expand it countless times in a short period of time.
Especially once you own General Electric's shares, your aircraft manufacturing company in Brazil will have access to the world's best engines in the future.
No matter whether my aircraft manufacturing company in Brazil can produce a qualified aero engine, I no longer have to worry about being choked on the engine.
Maybe my aircraft manufacturing company in Brazil can become one of General Electric’s parts suppliers.
If you can really do this, your aircraft manufacturing company will be considered a complete success.
Of course, these are all Fang Lang's personal ideas. Whether they can be realized in the end depends on whether the Morgan consortium will give him such an opportunity.
Now that he has made his request known, and Morgan has agreed to report his thoughts to the clan leader, in this case, it is obviously useless to continue to rely on Fang Lang and Morgan's entanglement.
Everyone knew this very well, so Fang Lang said directly
"Thank you very much, Mr. Morgan. I will stay in New York for about a week this time.
If Mr. Patriarch has an accurate answer, please inform me as soon as possible, and I will wait for the good news in New York."
To be honest, this meeting between the two parties was not pleasant, but we are all successful businessmen, and there is no way that we would have nothing to say just because of this unpleasantness.
If the Morgan family agrees to Fang Lang's request later, the relationship between the Fang family and the Morgan family may become closer. Therefore, the two of them started talking and laughing about other life matters.
It wasn't until the pot of tea was finished that the two waved goodbye.
After leaving the club, Fang Lang did not return to the hotel this time, but took a car directly to his new address in New York, USA.
This is a large estate covering an area of more than 2,000 acres, located in the Hudson Valley about 40 kilometers north of New York.
When many people mention luxury villas in the United States, the first place they think of is Manhattan in the United States. However, Manhattan during this period has not actually developed yet, so it is not a prosperous area.
To say that investing in land in Manhattan is definitely a very good luxury business, but buying real estate in Manhattan is obviously not an option for people like Fang Lang who want to pursue a low profile.
After repeated selections, this manor was finally purchased by Fang Lang himself. The original owner was a big French businessman, but due to the impact of World War II, his property in France was completely destroyed.
He had no choice but to sell his beautiful manor, which he had worked so hard to build, to withdraw funds.
Because the manor was too large, it had been difficult to sell it. When Fang Lang learned that there was such a manor built after the Palace of Versailles in France, he was tempted.
When I heard that it was located in the Hudson Valley, not far from the Rockefeller Estate, I didn’t hesitate to spend huge sums of money to acquire it.
When he came here by car today and saw this French luxury, Fang Lang had to sigh, it was indeed worth the money. The entire manor was surrounded by tall green plants, which not only ensured safety, but also had no Affects the appearance.
Passing through the gate of the manor, there are two rows of tall and neat plane trees. A concrete road is just big enough for one car. The motorcade directly crosses this road and arrives at the entrance of a magnificent manor.
There are already housekeepers and servants responsible for maintaining the manor standing outside the door waiting.
A British gentleman with gray hair, wearing a black tuxedo, stood at the door of the manor, waiting for the arrival of the new owner. Standing next to him was Qi Qingshan, who had arrived first.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]
After the convoy vehicles stopped at the main entrance of the manor, the soldiers responsible for Fang Lang's security, dressed in neat black suits, got out of the car in a well-trained manner and stood at the entrance of the manor to guard.
Some people directly entered the commanding heights of the manor under the guidance of the guards who arrived first, and were responsible for Fang Lang's security work.
After all the soldiers were in place, Qi Qingshan, who had already been waiting at the door, strode forward, came to Fang Lang's car door, and opened the door for him.
Fang Lang, who had been observing the surroundings in the car, saw Qi Qingshan open the car door, nodded to him and asked
"Qingshan, what do you think of the manor Olivia Berg chose?"
Qi Qingshan nodded to Fang Lang
"Boss, the environment of the manor is very good, but there are still many security loopholes, which we need to improve later.
After we came here this morning, we have already started to inspect the surrounding places where there are potential safety hazards.
All risk areas have been re-planned and communicated with Mr. Henry, the manor’s steward, and further improvements will be made soon.”
This is not surprising to Fang Lang. After all, it turns out that the owner of the manor is just a businessman, and there must be a huge difference between his safety requirements and Fang Lang's safety requirements.
What's more, the guards around Fang Lang all consider how to protect the safety of their officers from a military perspective, which is also very different from the security team hired by businessmen.
He nodded to Qi Qingshan to indicate that he understood.
I saw an old butler with gray hair and a neat tuxedo. Hearing Qi Qingshan mention him, he hurriedly walked over.
When he came to Fang Lang, he bent down and saluted, and said to Fang Lang very respectfully
"Hello, sir! I am the steward of your manor. My name is Zolph Henry. It is an honor to work for you."
As soon as Fang Lang saw the other party's behavior, he understood the other party's identity, smiled and nodded to him:
"Hello! Mr. Henry! Nice to meet you!
I heard you are from England?"
"Yes, sir, my hometown is Liverpool, England, and I have been working as a housekeeper for thirty years. The previous owner of this manor brought me to the United States."
Zulf Henry introduced himself to Fang Lang with a few simple words.
In fact, all his information has been investigated by the Second Section of the Logistics Department, and Fang Lang himself carefully studied his resume in the office before finally deciding to retain this British butler.
Fang Lang smiled and nodded to him
"Then I'll have to work hard on you from now on!"
Even if Fang Lang, as the boss, formally agreed to his work, Zulf Henry breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, but his face remained calm and he bowed slightly
"It's my pleasure, Mr. Fang!"
Then he went directly to work, pointed to the two rows of servants standing in front of the manor and introduced to Fang Lang
"Sir, here are the servants of our manor. There are fifteen maids, two grooms, two gardeners, two cooks, three handymen, and a total of twenty-four workers.
There used to be five security guards, but they have left now."
Fang Lang stepped forward with a smile and nodded to them. The servants also saluted Fang Lang.
At this moment, Fang Lang felt as if he had entered a TV set he had watched in later generations, Downton Abbey.
It seemed that he had now become a bourgeois aristocrat, which made him feel happy but also slightly uncomfortable.
However, he would not refuse to accept the services of these people in a pretentious manner. After all, if he had the opportunity to enjoy life again, how could he refuse!
Besides, this is a British aristocratic enjoyment, and of course he will not refuse it.
After everyone introduced each other, Zulf Henry began to take Fang Lang, the owner, to visit his manor.
Fang Lang was dazzled the first time he walked in the door. The luxurious decorations and paintings on the roof all told the luxury here.
Scanning his eyes casually, Fang Lang noticed that in addition to some exquisite-looking oil paintings, there were also several porcelains from his hometown in the living room.
This made Fang Lang's eyes light up. He walked up directly, picked up a vase with flowers, threw the flowers on the ground, and raised it to look at the money on the vase.
It was clearly written with the Kangxi Year System of the Qing Dynasty, which made Fang Lang overjoyed. He didn't expect that there was still porcelain from his hometown in this manor.
Although Fang Lang doesn't understand antiques or porcelain, he knows very well that if this porcelain is genuine, its value will definitely increase greatly in the future.
When Zulf Henry saw Fang Lang's actions, he quickly stepped forward and said to Fang Lang
"Boss, this is a Qing Kangxi blue and white underglaze red plum vase from China. It is a pair with another one over there."
When Fang Lang heard this, he glanced at his butler in surprise and said in surprise
"Hey! Do you know about Chinese antiques?"
Zulf Henry showed a very gentlemanly smile and nodded gently
"Of course, sir! I like Chinese antiques very much, so I have conducted in-depth research.
The previous owner here was also a lover of Chinese antiques. It turned out that his treasure room contained many Chinese porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.
However, when he sold the manor, he also sold most of it to outsiders, and the remaining part was taken back to France. What is left here are some that he thinks are relatively ordinary."
After hearing this, Fang Lang's eyes widened and he looked at Zulf Henry in front of him with disbelief. Soon this disbelief turned into surprise.
"Since the original owner here sold this manor, he must be in need of money, right?"
Zulf Henry nodded slightly after hearing this
"Yes, sir. Because of the war, most of his factories in France were destroyed by the Germans. Now after France is liberated, he urgently needs to return to France to reorganize the family business.
Therefore, many antiques in the manor and the treasure house were sold to raise funds."
"So do you know if he raised enough money?"
Zulf Henry hesitated after hearing this, looked at the somewhat eager Fang Lang, gritted his teeth, and did not answer Fang Lang's question directly, but asked
"Sir, do you want to buy other antiques from him?"
Fang Lang also didn't expect that Zulf Henry didn't answer his question, but instead asked him.
However, he quickly realized that he was unwilling to disclose the financial status of his original employer to others. Instead of being angry, Fang Lang was even more satisfied with the British butler named Zulf Henry.
She smiled at him carelessly
"Yes! You know, I am Chinese, so I love Chinese antiques very much. Since you also understand Chinese antiques, I think you can understand how I feel.
If your former employer is willing to continue selling these antiques, I think I would be a very suitable buyer."
